Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 671 [Part] No colorful phoenix with double flying wings (13)

On the morning of this day, Princess Yongqin received three official media, all of whom came from the homes of princes, princes and ministers who could match the residence of Prince Yongqin.

After seeing off the matchmaker, Princess Yongqin came to seek advice from her mother-in-law.

“One is the eldest son of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion. I met that prince a few days ago when he went to the palace for a banquet. Although he was born with a certain talent, I heard in private that he has several concubines in the house.”

Before Princess Yongqin finished speaking, Princess Lan planned to say: "This won't work."

Princess Lan was born in the prince. She struggled with a large group of women in the palace for a lifetime. She knew the suffering in it. Therefore, it was that the son of Yongchang Houfu was good.

Princess Yongqin was also not very satisfied with this, so when her mother-in-law objected, she did not say anything more and continued: "There is another one who is the second son of Prime Minister Cao."

“That’s all, now that the battle for the reserve is unresolved, we’d better not get involved.”

This time, without waiting for the concubine to express her position, Concubine Yongqin vetoed this herself, and continued: "This last one is the legitimate son of the second wife of Yongyi Hou Mansion. I met that child a few days ago. He is gentle and polite, but not very motivated. , now he just has a sinecure in the Ministry of Rites, but fortunately, Yongyi Marquis Mansion belongs to a century-old family, and the family fortune is extremely rich."

After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Mrs. Lan sighed slightly and replied: "If the children don't make progress, even the gold and silver mountains will have to be wasted sooner or later. This is not appropriate."

They must have a good family background, good character, be dedicated, and have the ability to make progress. These are the standards for Concubine Lan and Princess Yong when choosing a son-in-law.

 It’s just that such people are really hard to find.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were sighing here, and a message came to the door, saying that Princess Fuxi had sent a matchmaker.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard this, they couldn't help being stunned.

Princess Yongqin frowned and muttered: "When we first came to the capital, we all wanted to marry Pingyang to Brother Xiang. I asked Fuxi Tou several times, but she didn't express her position. Why did she suddenly send a matchmaker to the door? Woolen cloth?"

The concubine glared at her daughter-in-law and replied: "Why else? Fu Xi has never seen Pingyang before, so he didn't spit it out. Maybe he was moved when he saw someone two days ago."

Princess Yongqin suddenly understood, and then sighed: "It's just that Brother Xiang is in conflict with Pingyang, otherwise, this Zhenguogong Mansion is really a good home."

 “Let’s invite the people in first and then let’s talk.” After saying that, Mrs. Lan ordered people to invite the matchmaker.

After a while, the matchmaker followed the steward into the hall. Everyone had just exchanged a few words, but before they could get to the point, they heard a commotion outside.

Princess Yongqin left the hall and scolded the steward: "What's going on? There are guests here, why are you so unruly?"

The steward replied with a grimace: "There was a fire in the backyard, and the servants were busy putting out the fire, so they were disturbed."

Once she heard that there was a fire in the backyard, Princess Yongqin was only in panic. She didn't care about the matchmaker sent by Fu Xi, and quickly ordered the servants and women in the house to put out the fire.

 Fortunately, the fire was not very big when it first started, but a sudden fire would be enough to make people panic.

After the fire was extinguished, Princess Yongqin returned to the hall. The matchmaker had already been sent away by Mrs. Lan. Princess Yongqin asked: "What did the matchmaker say? Did mother agree?"

 “What a promise!”

Concubine Lan, who had been polite all her life, cursed and said in confusion: "This brother Xiang is indeed the bane of our family. As soon as this Fuxi sent a matchmaker to our door, our family caught fire. Hey! This is unlucky. , how can I agree?"

"No, it's really bad luck!" Princess Yongqin spat politely and sighed: "I saw that Fu Xi sent a matchmaker, and I was still a little relieved. Now I see that Brother Xiang really followed our family. It’s a mistake to rush.”

"I have rejected the matchmaker. From now on, please don't mention Brother Xiang in the house." Concubine Lan is now completely fed up with Li Xiang. After experiencing these things, the good feelings she had in her heart have long been gone. live.

Li Xiang, who was scolded by Princess Lan and Princess Yong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sneezed heavily at this moment.

Upon seeing this, the maid serving beside her immediately brought a cup of hot tea and said softly: "It's cold, the young master must have just gone to the courtyard to enjoy the plum blossoms and got cold. Please drink the hot tea quickly."

Li Xiang listened to the maid's soft words, but Pingyang's shadow unconsciously appeared in his mind.

He quickly forced himself not to think too much, and then raised his hand to take the tea cup handed by the maid. Perhaps because he was distracted, he failed to take it properly, and all the hot tea spilled on him.

 “Idiot!”

Li Xiang was suddenly burned, and he subconsciously scolded the maid. The maid quickly apologized, and Li Xiang unconsciously thought of Pingyang.

That day at her mother's princess mansion, the young palace servant accidentally spilled tea on her and Jin Yan. Jin Yan also got angry subconsciously just like he had just done, but Ping Yang not only wasn't angry, but was I really care about the little palace maid's burned hand.

　　A person can cover up his flaws through upbringing, but he cannot cover up his true heart when he is in a hurry.

 Pingyang is truly a pure and kind person.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang began to think of Pingyang uncontrollably.

They just met each other once. If they miss her, it doesn't matter. But Li Xiang's heart is beating crazily. He crazily wants to see Pingyang again, and even wants to see her every day.

This uncontrollable emotion tortured Li Xiang. He didn't even bother to change out of his clothes that were soaked by the tea, and hurried out the door.

His mother promised to go to Prince Yong's Mansion to propose marriage today, and he couldn't wait to know the result.

As soon as Li Xiang walked to the gate in a hurry, he saw Aunt Ju coming from outside with two palace attendants. Li Xiang hurriedly greeted Auntie and asked hurriedly: "Auntie, can mother send a matchmaker today?" Has Prince Yong’s palace proposed marriage?”

Aunt Ju glanced at Li Xiang and replied: "Since the princess promised the young master, she will keep her promise." Then she sighed: "It's just that Concubine Lan didn't agree."

After hearing what Aunt Ju said, Li Xiang couldn't get over it for a long time. Aunt Ju glanced at his stupid look, patted his hand and comforted him: "Although the little Princess Pingyang is nice, marriage matters are very important. It's fate, sir, don't force it."

 “Why doesn’t the concubine agree?”

Li Xiang felt his heart was empty after hearing the news. He had never been so disappointed and depressed.

He grabbed Aunt Ju and asked: "Although the concubine disagrees, what about cousin Pingyang? What does she mean?"

Aunt Ju smiled bitterly and replied: "You kid, why are you saying stupid things? The marriage of men and women is decided by the elders. Since the concubine and the princess don't agree, what else can the princess say?"

Hearing this, Li Xiang blurted out: "No, I will ask my cousin personally."

With that said, Li Xiang was about to leave the house in a hurry, but was stopped by Aunt Ju: "You kid, are you crazy? There is no reason for you to ask about marriage matters yourself. Besides, too much Since the concubine and the princess have already refused, you just go and ask, can the little princess still agree to you?"

Li Xiang frowned and thought for a while, but he was particularly unwilling to do so. He said sarcastically: "Then I will go find my mother and ask her to come up with something for me."
